In the mysterious world of Cthulhu, I am the Lord of the Gods

The screen continues to flow...

Hive Behavior Analysis Department, in a secret room with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Avril was facing a naked and lifeless Trojan cyborg.

After Klauer saw this cyborg, he felt very strange, but he also felt that he had seen it somewhere before.

After a while, he suddenly remembered that the receptionist with a muscular build and long beard was named Lennart. He was a receptionist that Krall met when he first came into contact with abnormal stories.

At that time, the receptionist anomaly occurred in Maeve's tavern. A gangster receptionist named Walter suddenly broke out and carried out a bloody massacre of the receptionists in Maeve's tavern.

When Crowler entered Maeve's Tavern, there were more than ten corpses left on the scene. In addition, there were several shivering tourists trapped in the corner of the pub. Walter poured wine into the mouth of the body lying on the wooden floor. , and this receptionist named Lennart was the unlucky guy who was shot several times in the chest by Walter with a revolver.

Didn’t this story about the unusual receptionist happen a few months ago and have been investigated?

Why do you still put it on the table?

Claure frowned when he saw this.

"Insert memory bookmarks and restore history."

Avril inserted a thin metal piece into the crack in the back of Lennart's neck, and then continued:

"Enter dream mode, Lennart, why did you have a conflict with Walter at that time?"

Lennart:

"Walter insisted on taking off the milkmaid's underwear, which was out of the scope of his scripted actions. This was the second time he had behaved this way."

Avril:

"Switch to analysis mode."

"As a supervisor, haven't you reported this abnormal behavior before?"

Lennart:

"No, the receptionist's slight deviation from the theme and storyline is acceptable."

“The host can make minor self-corrections to the script within acceptable limits.”

Avril:

"Ok."

"After he corrected himself, he hit you over the head with a milk bottle and shot you three times."

When Avril heard this, she sneered at the lifeless cyborg in front of her.

But just as Avril was about to continue speaking, a cold voice came from behind her:

"Avril, what are you doing?"

"You should have wiped his memory in the final round and thrown him back into the ring, so why did you keep him here?"

Avril was obviously startled by the sudden sound.

She turned her head around in panic, and only regained her panicked expression when she realized it was her boss, Bennet.

She patted her heart, took a breath, and then said:

"Dear Mr. Bennet, I will, but this Lennart is the last person to communicate with Walter. I want to find out from Lennart the real reason for Walter's abnormal situation."

After Avril finished speaking, she quickly walked to a giant metal panel and opened a surveillance video. This was a video of Walter torturing the receptionist at Maeve's Tavern.

"Look, he was talking to someone, some disgusting bastard."

"He was doing almost the entire conversation alone."

"Give me more milk, Arnott."

Having said this, Avril turned her eyes to her boss with a puzzled expression:

"Dear Mr. Bennet, who is Arnott?"

"Who is Arnott?"

After hearing this, Bennett's eyes flickered. He immediately interrupted the question and changed the subject:

"Walter was just programmed to exhibit abnormal behavior at times."

"If so, that would explain this conversation."

Avril frowned after hearing this. She was obviously not satisfied with her boss's answer. However, she did not continue to discuss this topic. She pointed to another video in the surveillance video and said loudly:

"Okay, then explain this."

"Walter killed sixteen of the hosts who were playing villains, but he let three others go."

"I retrieved the theme story line logs and found that these sixteen receptionists had belonged to the theme story line over the years. They were the ones who killed Walter."

"He seems to be harboring a grudge and seeking revenge. How can we explain this?"

Avril said this and looked at Bennett aggressively.

When Bennett heard this, he did not answer. He slowly raised his head and glanced at his subordinates with a very meaningful look.

Then, he took a deep breath, as if making a difficult decision.

"Avril, there is a cyborg who is lost in the park."

"The security department and our behavioral analysis department will have to send someone to track it down."

"Go and deal with the matter of the lost cyborg."

“Do something that is truly within your scope of responsibility.”

"The last thing we need is for Head of Security Karen to rush up and see this."

After Bennett finished speaking, he let out a big breath.

"Okay, I'll go to the park to check."

Avril looked at her boss with an unhappy expression.

"Bring this guy upstairs by the way."

When Bennet saw Avril preparing to leave the closed chamber, he ordered in a normal tone.

......

In the park, Avril was walking on a barren red Gobi with a heavily armed security guard who had several short guns hanging on his body.

"Why did another one escape?"

"Is the surveillance scope of your security department really that small?"

"Or would you rather go for a walk on the wild side?"

Avril panted and said to the middle-aged man with outstanding appearance and good temperament.

"Haha, maybe it's because I'm accompanied by a beautiful woman."

The middle-aged man patted a short gun on his body and said jokingly.

"Why do you wear so many weapons?"

"If you really want to play the role of a bounty hunter, you can just use your employee discount. There's no need to go to all this trouble."

Avril glanced at the other party disdainfully.

"Haha, do you think I have so many weapons on my body just to look cool?"

"The only thing stopping these hosts from tearing us apart."

"It's just a line of magic instructions written by you."

"No offense intended, ma'am."

"I sleep with my gun in my arms."

The middle-aged man's words were full of energy and his expression was extremely serious, not like he was joking.

"Well, I guess so."

Avril knew that she had met a stubborn guy. She looked at him with disdain and agreed with a smile.

......

"Cowards die many times before they die."

“A brave man tries to die only once.”

"Of course Shakespeare never met anyone like you, Teddy."

"You've died at least 1 times."

"However, this does not diminish your courage."

"Tell me, is this what you're after, Teddy?"

The white-haired old man sat in front of Teddy, who was naked and lifeless, and said in a calm tone.

Teddy:

"There was a girl, Dorothy."

"I'm not good enough for her."

"But maybe one day we can live the life of our dreams."

The white-haired old man:

"No, you never would."

"Your job is not to protect Dorothy, but to keep her here."

"To make sure guests can find her."

"Because some customers want to defeat the powerful gunman and have a good time with this girl."

"Tell me, have you ever thought about running away with her?"

Teddy:

"I have to settle old debts first so I can be with him."

The white-haired old man:

"By the way, your mysterious background story."

"That's exactly why I'm looking for you."

"You know why it's mysterious, Teddy?"

"Because we never bothered to give you a specific background theme storyline."

"Just vaguely saying that is a sin you can never atone for."

"Maybe it's time to tell your origin story."

"Do you want it, Teddy?"

......

"This is a small part of my new storyline."

"A work of fiction that, like all great stories, has a high degree of authenticity."

......

"It started during the war, and the war was raging."

"There is a villain whose name is Hamlet."

......

Teddy:

"Hamlet?"

"Who...who is Hamlet?"

The white-haired old man:

"Don't worry, wait for me for a few minutes...I will enter a new magic command for you..."

"Okay, do you remember now, Teddy?"

Teddy:

"I...I remember, of course I remember, Hamlet."

“Having seen the real devil, it’s impossible to forget Hamlet?!”

“He claimed to hear the voice of his Creator.”

"It all started in the city of death - Escalante!"

"The army was sent to suppress the cannibals."

"But that's not a good thing."

"Hamlet is a sergeant."

"In the middle of a certain march, someone else disappeared."

"After I came back a few weeks later, I had strange thoughts in my head."

"He started killing...never-ending killing, like a plague wherever he went..."
